July Plotting Post


⋆✩ plotting post ✩⋆


MEMBER & GUILD RANKING

New quests are released! Sign-ups will open officially on the 3rd of this month, so until then, here's a plotting post for you all to get your Duckletts in a row! Before we hop right into things, though, here are the tallies from total quest points!

Click here for the rankings!
MEMBER RANKING
ICly, Rankings will show the points earned of all Pokemon in guilds, including NPC Pokemon not listed here OOCly. We didn't list guild leaders this time, but might in the future for fun. Keep in mind that quests available to player characters are not the entire pool of quests, and that some are likely snatched up before they can get to them regularly, which is how points vary and how some guilds pull ahead even without much player help. However, over time, player points will certainly affect the standing of guilds! Without further ado, here are the characters in ranking order by guild:

Oran Berries
Akechi 2050 points
Shoka 1600 points
Ren 1400 points
Emmet 1300 points
Ingo 1100 points
Conrad 850 points
Akari 800 points
A.B.A 650 points
Flamebringer 650 points
Sanji 650 points
Dark Heart 550 points
Bigby 350 points
Technus 350 points

Cheri Berries

Now that the surrounding areas have been made suitably safe for passage, it’s vital that we do our part to record the unique features of each region in full detail. I will be sending various specialized Pokemon Scholars out from the Bay- and each will require a team of bodyguards to best do their work unimpeded.

Do this, and you will be rewarded quite appropriately for your efforts.

UPDATED LOCATIONS

In preparation for the next stage in the city’s evolution, our Locations page has been updated with information on the different parts of the forest! We hope this will be a helpful reference for both current and future players, so that no one has to go hunting for details through the quest results for previous explorations. As our game world expands, we plan to keep adding more information to that page as player characters uncover it.

We have also added an official threshold to the Locations page for when characters have earned different tiers of housing - at 2500 points they will have earned a mid-tier accommodation, and at 5000 points they will have earned a high-tier accommodation.

the Ring-Spirit

[personal profile] improvking 2025-07-02 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
PLAYER INFO
PLAYER: Mordrid
ABOUT: an og-YuGiOh nerd who tends to be online at all/odd hours but whose brain keeps fighting him re: tags
CONTACT: [plurk.com profile] MomeMordrid

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: the Ring-Spirit (aka Yami Bakura)
CANON: Yugioh (manga/DSoD)
POKEMON: Mimikyu
GUILD: Lum
INFO/PERMISSIONS: here!

ABOUT:
The Ring-Spirit is a gremlin who thinks he doesn't care about anyone and then against his will without noticing gets Attached to people anyway. He used to stab his favorite person on a semi-regular basis and then got offended when said person finally opted to stop retrieving the cursed amulet RS resided in. He does not have an actual name, but the other Mimikyu Shoka has taken to calling him "Freakazoid"... which he's perfectly happy to answer to,,

Back in his home dimension, his main goal was destroying the world! He's less about that here. Also he thinks the Spiritomb he helped recruit to Bottlecap Bay last month is his absent family! We'll see how that goes...

PLANS:
Some interest in signing up for the non-limited quests? I'd like him to do the escort-a-scholar at least. Otherwise, he'll be spending a lot of his free time visiting the Spiritomb in the clinic, and I'll be focusing on backtags I think? Come at me if you have ideas :V

ANYTHING ELSE:
telewarped: (A machiavellian scheme to gloat over)

[personal profile] telewarped 2025-07-02 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Freakazoid is a beautiful name for a baby boy...

i have NO IDEA how to actually start off a thread for this, but i think it's hilarious that RS thinks Spiritomb is his family...i want Shoka to find out about this and be like HELLO? simply because i had her get seriously injured in her own fight with Spiritomb

hey man your family literally set me on fire can you put em on a leash next time? thanks
improvking: (you're on)

[personal profile] improvking 2025-07-02 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
lol, I'm currently waiting on mod-decision to find out what Spiritomb's opinion/reaction is gonna be, so that may give us some thread-starting ideas! Totally down to have them run into each other at the clinic at some point... or if she's recovered by now, maybe she sees him on his way to visit and he tells her who he's visiting??
telewarped: (shoka gets trolled)

[personal profile] telewarped 2025-07-02 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
👀 i am looking directly at it...

i'm thinking that Shoka will be recovered enough to be released from the clinic by (nebulously) early July, so totally still possible for them to run into each other at the clinic while she's at the tail end of her recovery! which would actually be hilarious because she might not even know that Spiritomb's there........she's like WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY'VE BEEN HERE THIS WHOLE TIME...RIGHT IN MY PUMMELING RANGE

^ Ishizu talking about Marik, but also RS talking about Spiritomb. Do not pummel them, they're baby he promises - they are a menace and would be even if they actually were who he thinks they are

telewarped: (No need to hate)

[personal profile] telewarped 2025-07-02 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
Shoka hearing this while thinking about her own collection of insane freak murderer pals:



ohhh they're baby. well that's ok then (saying this, she casually threw aside a large rock)
improvking: (I'm cute as hell (which incidentally...))

[personal profile] improvking 2025-07-02 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
XDDD
excellent, excellent, she gets it meanwhile Sanji and Emporio both trying to keep Anasui from punting RS again
dripdrive: (bitch smile)

[personal profile] dripdrive 2025-07-05 01:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Happy to RP it or handwave it but Anasui will continue to yell at RS for bringing that dumb ball of spirits home to the city XD.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you - but there is now an open log for anyone wishing to interact with or regarding the Spiritomb!
